Solid Wood is Archival - Finger Jointed Wood is Not

We only use Solid Wood to build our Stretcher Bars because a solid piece of wood will last indefinitely. When we speak of archival value, it's not just the paint you use and the quality of your canvas and ground, even the wood choices manufacturers make are part of the archival process.

The principal reason manufactures use finger jointed wood is reduce cost, not increase archival value. Wood constantly grows and shrinks when the environment becomes hotter, or colder, or more humid, or more dry. Because finger jointed wood is made-up of multiple and varied pieces of wood, with varying grain patterns and densities, they each absorb and shed moisture at varying rates, which works on the glue joints that hold them together, causing the wood to bow and the joints to eventually fail, and certainly not consistent with increasing the archival value of your artwork frame support.

As a manufacturer, we do our part to conserve as much wood as possible, and still provide a quality made product that will out-perform any other in the marketplace.

When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever the object is - whether it's a shadow on the wall or something else. Just paint it exactly as you see it. ♦ Paul Gauguin

Paul Gauguin's emphasis on depicting what one truly sees speaks to the importance of authenticity and personal vision in art. Gauguin himself left behind the confines of European society and headed to Tahiti, where he sought a deeper, unfiltered connection with his surroundings. There, far from the dictates of academic painting, he was able to paint with raw honesty, capturing the essence of his environment and the people he encountered.

In urging artists to paint what they see, Gauguin is challenging us to move beyond mere representation. It's a call to delve into our perceptions, our reactions, and our understanding of the world around us. As artists, we have the power to bring a unique perspective to our work. By being true to our vision and painting with sincerity, we invite our audience to see the world through our eyes, fostering a connection that transcends the canvas. This approach not only elevates our art but also creates an intimate bond between the artist and the viewer, bridging the gap between observation and understanding.
